TODAY YOU SIMPLY FLY

What will our mobility look like in the future? Soon we will be able to simply fly over short distances in the city. That’s what this project is about: developing a UX/UI design for the Volocopter prototype to simulate the future of the Volocopter app.

A prototype was created in collaboration with an air taxi provider for an airshow in Singapore to give guests a first impression of the overall flight experience. It was actively used at the first show.

Reach your goal faster

The prototype was designed to give visitors to the air show a sense of how they will experience their flight in the future. The app includes the pre-flight experience, route selection and ticket booking. During the flight, users receive information about the flight duration, the pilot and the sights they fly past.

In addition, it was important to integrate environmental considerations and the safety of electric air cabs so that the entire experience was summarized in an easy-to-understand flow.

Developing a product that had not yet been tested and for which there was no competition on the market was particularly exciting. This made it all the more important to draw on the experience of cab and flight ticket apps. Carefully designing the customer journey and obtaining feedback from all departments were crucial to the success of the project.

UI DESIGN

The new way
to fly

When creating the user interface design, it was crucial to take the brand’s fundamentals into account and transform them into a unique app experience. This allows the user to reach their destination easily and comprehensibly.

The app should accompany the user in three phases: before the flight, during the flight and afterwards. It was important to present the different phases visually and clearly without overloading the app with functions.

The goal was a fast, streamlined process that does not unnecessarily slow down the user.

THE FUTURE
IS NEAR

Working on a future-oriented product was an exciting challenge, as the product could not simply be tested. However, it was rewarding to have the opportunity to design something that reflects our own expectations for future flights.

The great team on all sides complemented the project perfectly. I am already looking forward to booking a scenic flight over one of the major cities soon.
